Summary: Drabble 35 of the series The Unraveling Thread. Davy completes a private ritual.

~~~~~~~~~~

Davy watched as the boy’s life faded almost immediately. He lifted the body and stepped through the walls of his ship. In a moment, he stood on the ocean floor near Isla Cruces.

He set Will’s body down and placed his hand on it. The body sank into the sand.

Davy looked around. Every crewman who had finished his time was buried here. He bowed his head, as he always did when he came here. “You were a good crewman, William Turner the Second,” he said. “Farewell.”

He returned to the Dutchman. He had things that he needed to do.

Author’s note: This is it. It’s over. And on reflection, blame veronica_rich. Her drabble (which you should check out, it’s really good, if just as depressing as this series) is what inspired this entire series. Thank you, veronica, for the inspiration!

Thank you, everyone, for your feedback. I hope that you have enjoyed this series, and if not, I hope that you’ve at least been staring in horrified fascination (I know I have. How did I come up with this level of creepiness?)

Oh, if anyone wants to read the whole thing again, or for the first time, it can be found in my memories, under "The Unraveling Thread".
